During our stay at Cara Del Indio everyone at NRA had an awesome time. We got to experience the amazing big water of the Futaleufu River, experience Futa fest, and enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery in Chile. While we stayed at Cara del Indio everyone ended up becoming attached to certain animals, well mostly the kittens, and then for a few of us the pigs too. So for my photography final I decided to document the animals of Cara del Indio using the techniques taught to media class this quarter and last semester by Matt Smink and David Hughes. The main techniques for this assignment that I used were: the rule of thirds, balancing elements, leading lines, viewpoint, background, framing, cropping, and experimentation.

Edgar ‘the early bird’. One of two roosters that would roam around Cara del Indio, usually giving us a nice friendly reminder around 5-5:30 in the morning to wake up. Which usually just made some of our group want to kick it, kill it, and/or eat it.

The second of the two roosters at Cara del Indio, nicknamed ‘loony’ because he always seemed half crazy or looked completely insane.

One of the mothers of a flock of baby chickens, caught taking a breather munching on grass.

A faithful watchdog of Cara del Indio, and a master of stare contests (undefeated champion).

The favorite of the five kittens being more adventurous, entertaining and all around playful. Shown here trying his first taste of some nice fresh rusty nail…

He looks cute, but was a scared-y cat because Hunt always would look at him as if he were a giant plate of bacon and sometimes run after him.

The only horse we saw prepared for riding, (unfortunately it was Cara del Indio’s) while we went on our epic invisible horse riding adventure.

Our local milk producer for the few weeks we stayed at the Futaluefu.

Le Trencho! The leader of a mischievous gang of garbage thieves and scavengers.

The cutest and the softest of the five kittens growing up at Cara del Indio.

SALTO! The awesome dog that our school has 'adopted' at Pucon Kayak Hostel.

Two of the kittens being fed by our school, since their mom died they have been living off what scraps we could give them.

Another cute kitten.

Then there's Drew, trying to persuade the school to adopt the cow because he became so attached to it.

Kitten attack!!

Kitten Fire!

The drowned mother of five awesome, cute, playful kittens. RIP
